This quilt was a request from my daughter in law. She wanted to preserve some special "work" tees my firefighter son no longer wore for her son. After thinking about it and looking at lots of Pinterest posts and patterns this is what I came up with. It is flannel. My first time trying to quilt with such stretchy stuff.

Beating Heart

I saw some string quilts at the neighborhood quilt show and decided to try a simple heart design.

Baby Quilt

My daughter is expecting a baby girl in June...so of course I needed to make a quilt. My daughter wanted a really bright cheerful quilt & this is what I came up with. The pattern is Charm Party by Juiie Hirt for Moda Bake shop. The only change I made was adding a border of Prairie Points.

coffee mugs

I found this pattern a few years ago, but was just starting out with quilting and was overwhelmed by all the itty bitty pieces. I also only did "stitch in the ditch" quilting. Since discovering Missouri stars tutorials, I have become more confident and more experienced in my piecing and quilting technique. Up until now I have mostly made baby blankets and throws for friends and family. This quilt is special because it is the first one I have made for myself!

A Whale Of A Time

I love making quilts for new babies! I have always admired appliqué from afar, but as a new quilter this seemed way out of my league. I decided to start small. I simply cut out the letters freehand and hand stitched them onto the existing quilt (I did this so that the letters can be removed later if the quilt is handed down). I thought it was a bit sloppy, but my friend was very kind and was thrilled to receive the personalized gift for her baby. I also tried my hand at some wavy lines in the quilting. This was stepping out of my box! I am posting the images anyway in hopes of seeing myself progress over time.

Katy Cat

I had a friend many years ago who made and sold primitive dolls, so of course I had to try my hand at it! I wasn't nearly as talented at it as she was. I made a few dolls, by request for friends, but didn't really keep up with it. Recently my Mom asked me if I still had the patterns, and like a true crafter I hoard all things sewing! So, here it is..... Katy Cat is made to hang on a wall or door. Her dress has an elastic band inside the bottom seem. Her purpose (besides being adorable) is to store your unused plastic grocery bags! Clever! This kitty was made for my Mom, who suddenly felt a need for plastic bag storage.

Blanky's for Everyone!

I caught the quilting bug! Once you've caught it, it is very hard not to spread it around! So, you guessed it! Blanky's For Everyone! The beginning of the infectious addiction was when I watched the "jelly roll race" tutorials. I was fascinated by how easy a quilt could be. The fact that I didn't have to spend 3 days cutting tiny pieces was amazing to me! And to then find out that someone out there sold precut material! My mind was blown! For Christmas (2013) My Mom, Nieces and Nephews all got throw blankets! Whether they asked for them or not. It turned out to be a big hit, even with the Tweens!(who are usually too cool for that kind of thing). Not to toot my own horn, but I quickly climbed the ladder to favorite Aunt. Toot! Toot!

Hidden Stars

In a very first attempt to free motion quilt, I quilted little stars throughout a small quilt. This quilt was made for a very special friend who has been a mentor to me. I knew she would show me grace and would appreciate the gesture, therefore lessoning the pressure I put upon myself to perfect free motion quilting on my first try. She later told me that she enjoys finding a little hidden star once in a while.

Winter Welcome!

My Mom loves winter and Snowmen! This was made for her for Christmas one year. I found a cute appliqué pattern for a wall hanging and just had to try it out. This was my very first time working with fusible web. Stitching the snowflakes proved a bit frustrating, but I managed.

Winter Pines

My two sisters and I all liked this pattern when we saw it at a Jenny Doan trunk show. So we bought the pattern and then on our own purchased our fabrics. A few weeks later we got together to cut out the pieces, then sew up our quilts. It was fun bonding over our machines with our pretty fabrics and see our tree quilts come to life.
